About this property

Private home on a canal with direct access to Gulf fishing and beaches!


This is a darling 2 bedroom /2 bath home, sleeps 7. The house is centrally located in a quiet residential neighborhood between Dunedin and Tarpon Springs. It is on a deep water canal with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, no bridges. Bring your own boat or rent ours . We rent our 24' pontoon boat for just $85 per day/night. Our policy is that you rent it at that price for your entire stay . If you only want it for one day or are only staying for two nights, it is $200. We also have two paddle boards and two kayaks included in the house rental. Both excellent for flats fishing... rod and reels included!
The master bedroom has a king size bed, its own bath, and a private sitting room. The second bedroom has a queen bed, the living room has a queen pull out couch, and a chair and a half with a pull out twin bed. Pac N Play and High chair also available.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas cook top, full oven, microwave, refrigerator, ice make, beverage cooler and dishwasher.
Washer and dryer included and a large pantry to stock up for your family and guests.
Included is a 65” smart flat screen TV and 5g WIFI. We also have added a portable desk and chair for you to set up to work from home.

The location is close to the Pinellas bike trail and Innisbrook golf resort. Plenty of great restaurants locally.

Beautiful
This property was beautiful the view was tranquil and quite. it was nice to be able to use the boat. Ruth was very kind and always responded to my chat. The neighbors were very friendly and sat and talked with us. Everything was clean and there was notes telling us how to use things that was extremely helpful. There is also a helpful hand book for the boat and house that I enjoyed reading as well. I will definitely be back everything was perfect.

Perfect Vacation to Relax and Unwind
We absolutely loved our stay! The home was gorgeous and fully stocked for our needs. The location was perfect for relaxing on the dock or island hopping to some of the area's most beautiful beaches. We had a minor hiccup with the pontoon, but the property owners were quick to communicate and fixed the issue in a timely manner. Thank you so much for a terrific vacation!

Spring Get-Away
Beautiful home with wonderful backyard right on the canal and shaded by two large oak trees. Just perfect! Great location for boating, fishing, kayaking or just hanging out on the dock. Very convenient to parks, bike and walking trail, the beach, restaurants and stores. Could not have asked for more!

Annual migration south
Delightful house. Very comfortable with a great view of the harbor. We saw dolphins from the back deck along with birds fishing . The highlight of the stay was taking the boat into the gulf to the little island picking up shells. There were also lots of starfish that were really cool.

Everything we were looking for!
My husband and I were looking for a place to work remotely for a couple of weeks in January, where we could also do some biking. This was the perfect spot! Plenty of space and privacy for both of us to get our work done, with easy access to the Pinellas trail for a ride at the end of the day. Ruth was a wonderful host, very responsive from the day we booked through the last day of our stay. And her property is charming -- clean and comfortably furnished, with everything we needed, plus a lovely view of the canal and lots of windows. Top notch!

Great holiday vacation!
The house was immaculate and we loved having access to the pontoon boat. Our teenage boys enjoyed fishing from the dock and taking the kayaks out. We also loved using the gas grill. Ruth was very quick to respond to our questions.

Great getaway
What a great place to relax and enjoy time with family! I can not say one negative thing about our experience. The home was clean and had almost anything needed for a fun vacation - beach towels, a cooler, kayaks, a boat, a grill, and even an ice machine. Being that it is a 2 bedroom I assumed it would be a bit small, but that was not the case at all. There was plenty of space and a lot of seating inside and out, and the back deck was so beautiful and relaxing. This home will not disappoint. We are already talking about reserving again next year.

Perfect Florida Getaway
After a few long days at Disney World, this property is just what our family needed. A quiet street with direct dock access to the canal, our family loved spending time on the outdoor deck watching dolphins swim by. Very close to the sponge docks, local beaches and shopping, it is the perfect basecamp for a Gulf vacation. Ruth is a very responsive and kind host, with prompt and clear communication. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Ruth!

BEST OF THE BEST!!!!
From the moment we arrived at this beautiful property we knew we made the right choice. We are locals and were looking for a relaxing week on the water with our boat. This house has it all!! Super clean, polished terrazzo floors, all the amenities you could ask for. My wife and 13-year-old daughter along with friends that visited during the week all had a blast and commented on how great this house is. Great communication from Ruth the property owner the entire trip. 12 out of 10 stars all the way!! Highly recommend for anyone!!

Wonderful Vacation!
Property was exactly as described. The house was clean, cute, and perfect for our family if 5. We rented the boat, which was the best part of staying here. The barrier islands are beautiful and we had no idea how wonderful our time out exploring the islands would be. I would recommend this place to friends for a wonderful, relaxing vacation for sure! A little far from Tampa and attractions or places to visit, one hour away at least, but if you are looking to relax, the house and location to go out on the boat is amazing!

Great Location for boating
The house is located on a very nice canal and has a pontoon boat for rent at it's dock. It's very close to Tarpon Springs ($10 dock for 4 hours) and Caladesi Island State park with a marina ($6 for the boat and people to spend the day on the beach. The waters are connected by the intercoastal waterway and are protected and calm if the wind is not too high. There are many sandy islands that you can anchor near and go swimming and hiking. The area has many restrurants by water or land. Very nice vacation.
